Turks and Caicos Islands: 5 Day Forecast

Ahoy from Mudjin Harbour on Middle Caicos, Boaby Rock Point on Grand Turk, and Grace Bay on Providenciales. Today at Mudjin Harbour the sun rises at 6:05 AM and sets at 7:33 PM, with the moon 21% lit. With very low evening cloud cover, it may be a fine night to stargaze; look west just after sunset for bright Venus low on the horizon.

Thursday: Seas stay manageable but a bit choppy for smaller craft, matey. Across the country the morning starts warm near 81 F to 82 F with humidity around 78% to 82%, feeling like 87 F to 88 F. Winds blow mostly E around 16 to 20 MPH, strongest at Boaby Rock Point and Grace Bay, with 4 foot waves at Mudjin and Boaby and 4 feet easing to 3 feet at Grace Bay in the afternoon. Skies stay mostly bright with very low cloud cover, generally under 15%, and only traces of light rain that likely will not amount to much. By midday and afternoon Mudjin turns the hottest, reaching 84 F with humidity near 78%, feeling like 91 F to 94 F, while Grace Bay and Boaby Rock Point hold steadier near 82 F and feeling closer to 88 F or 89 F. For boaters and beach crews, dinner time looks pleasant with east winds 14 to 18 MPH, low clouds, and tiny passing sprinkles at most. The main standout today is Mudjin Harbour running hotter than the country average this afternoon, while Boaby Rock Point is breezier.

Friday: Another fair-weather sailing day, though still breezy. Morning conditions run about 81 F to 82 F with humidity from 77% to 81%, feeling like 86 F to 88 F. Winds stay from the E to SE around 16 to 21 MPH, with Boaby Rock Point again the breeziest and carrying 5 foot waves overnight and early morning before settling to 4 feet later, while Mudjin holds near 4 feet and Grace Bay mostly 3 to 4 feet. Cloud cover stays quite low much of the day, from clear skies to around 24%, so sunshine will be plentiful. Any rain stays light and spotty. Through the afternoon Mudjin once again gets the toastiest, climbing to 84 F to 85 F with humidity near 79%, feeling like 93 F to 95 F. Grace Bay and Boaby stay more even near 82 F, feeling like 89 F to 90 F. Around dinner time, outdoor tables should be in good shape with warm air, only slight sprinkle chances, and steady easterly trade winds. Biggest difference tomorrow: Grand Turk is rougher for the smallest boats with the higher early wave action, while Grace Bay stays the gentlest overall.
